tlr Posted August 23, 2006 at 01:29 PM Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 at 01:29 PM Hi, I have a painting which, thanks to Skylee, has been identified as having the name Wang Xuetao across the edge of the back of the scroll (see image). It is a beautiful work and I am trying to validate its authenticity. Do you have any idea where to begin with such a project? Is it common for the artist to write their name across the edge of the back of the scroll like this, or is this the sign of a handpainted reproduction? I will say that the quality of materials used, whether it's a reproduction or not, is very good. Are there characteristics to look for in a handpainted piece to at least filter out likely fakes? Also, the scroll is somewhat older, although Wang Xuetao only recently passed away in 1982. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
